Production

[edit | edit source]

Lead guitarist Billy Coté wrote or cowrote the majority of the album's songs; he thought that many were about the oppressive rather than enjoyable aspects of summer.[5][6] The sound of Hello June Fool was influenced by trip hop, with "Train" incorporating the style of dub reggae.[7][8]

Pitchfork noted that "the warm narcotic haze of the guitars envelops you like an old blanket, but Mary Lorson's vocals, still cold as ice-nine, keep you from passing out completely."[13] The Daily Mail determined that "the hypnotic hooks of their debut album, Bring It Down, are missing."[10] NME said that "Madder Rose have liberated the breezy beauty that has long bubbled under their smokiest torch songs."[12]

The Guardian opined that "Lorson's voice has made the transition from otherworldly to bored."[16] The Independent wrote that "it's a rambling whole and Mary Lorson's vocals lack their usual conviction."[11] Newsday said that "Madder Rose resonates like an amalgam of the worst Mazzy Star-Cowboy Junkies pap imaginable."[5] The Chicago Tribune noted that the "songs don't rock so much as they shimmer with a warm, end-of-summer psychedelia."[17]

AllMusic concluded that "there's a definite air of wistful, smoky mystery throughout Hello June Fool, almost suggesting the touch of such acts as Portishead and Massive Attack."[9]
